Dreamland Imaginarium opened just before Christmas at Regent Retail Park in Salford, Greater Manchester
We were lucky enough to be invited to a complimentary visit of their soft launch!
Dreamland Imaginarium has 4 different areas for children to explore with a view to bringing kids imagination and dreams to life with a variety of multi-sensory activities!
Dreams of Flight
This area had a gorgeous projection of birds and other creatures! Lots of colour changing characters, a small play area with a variety of eggs for the kids to roll and play, as well as press the interactive buttons to make the colours change.
My kids loved this area, especially my 3 year old!
Monster’s Midway
An area where you can throw balls at the monsters and score points. More suited for the older kids. There was also dance floor with lots of colour changing lights that the younger kids loved chasing. There was also a very popular bouncy castle that all the kids enjoyed.
Underwater Enchantment
The was a favourite, a huge ball pool fulls of colourful balls, the kids just loved jumping in and ‘swimming’ in the pool!
Fantastical Flora
An area full of beautiful colours filled with lots of areas for that perfect picture. Also has the cafe and gifts shop here. The cafe serving a variety of drinks and snacks which was popular for adults and kids in our group and reasonably priced too!
Here is a map of the layout PICTURE
The staff dressed in PJ’s and gowns really helped the kids play and increased the playful factor. Everyone was helpful and friendly and I felt safe knowing the kids couldn’t just escape outside as the there was only one exit which seemed manned with a few members of staff.
Everywhere was clean and well kept, a few teething issues being it was very cold for the adults. We did go on one of the first cold days of the season, the staff acknowledged this and said they were already looking into it. The kids however were warm enough after running around exploring!
The bathroom facility was nice and clean which is always a bonus.
Overall the kids enjoyed this experience, especially as they went with some good friends so they were able to play together. Pre- Booking is available on their website.
The attraction is open until February 2023.
